We started the day with our dear friend Jacinthe, who picked Sandy up for a hair color, cut and overall princess treatment at Jacinthe&#8217;s favorite salon, Interbeaut\u00e9 Coiffure. While Sandy was at the salon, Dan worked on the boat, provisioned and also got a haircut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That evening, we continued to experience the Montreal lifestyle with a fabulous welcoming family dinner at the home of Jacinthe, Filip, Flo, Liz and Kiki (the fur ball cat) in Ville Mont-Royal, a suburb of the city. We are so happy to keep up the tradition of our annual get-together for the third year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our last full day in Montr\u00e9al was busy! So far, nothing on the boat has broken&#8230; except Sandy&#8217;s laptop, which we got repaired.  Dan had a longstanding doctor&#8217;s appointment. We went to the marine supply store (you ALWAYS need something there) and the supermarket to provision. It will be some days until we dock in a town again so it was important to stock up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday evening, after a drink with Jon and Cheri at the historical Pub Saint Pierre, Sandy and I had a romantic dinner a Bonaparte, a classic French restaurant in Old Montr\u00e9al, where we indulged in the <em>menu de d\u00e9gustation<\/em>. Outstanding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow, we&#8217;re off for a 46 nautical mile push on down the river on the first of several legs that will take us to Qu\u00e9bec City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" data-id=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1353.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1353.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1353-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>The Old Port<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"741\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1357-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-741\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Montr\u00e9al by Night<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"958\" data-id=\"727\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1352.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1352.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_1352-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Place Jacques Cartier<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_8340-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-734\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Notre Dame Basilica of Montr\u00e9al<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" data-id=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingtruenorth.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_8338.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_8338.png 720w, https:\/\/sailingfregata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_8338-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Bank of Montr\u00e9al&#8230;
